So what? We know his timelines are sometimes exaggerated, but the intention and direction are what's important. The first thing he said indeed already is present in the app, as are several other changes, so you're wrong about zero successes. I'm glad he intends to do E2E encryption on DMs, and I don't care much if the timeline slips. All the previous Twitter owners had a relative eternity to do that, and they didn't.

Ooh, now isn't your naivety adorable here. Intent and direction is what really matters! Like, say, when you get in a cab, and he's just sitting still, but he really intends to drive, and he's looking longingly in the right direction where you wanna go. Meanwhile the taximeter is counting up... And you missed your flight. But the intent and direction matter. If "we'll do it eventually" was a legitimate excuse for not shipping, then theft would be legal. You know, "I'll return it eventually." You go to the bank, take a loan and then you never pay back. But not to worry, you intend to pay it. Eventually. It's like the way Twitter pays rent right now. "I'll pay it, eventually." Oddly, he doesn't mind having an office for free right now, though. If it's unclear, there's no distinction at all between a scammer and an entrepreneur, except the latter ships when they say, and the former doesn't. Long term we're all dead. Time matters. -------------------------------- As for me being wrong about zero successes, can you be slightly more specific. What is that "first thing" he promised? The blue checks? The blue checks that helped drive away most advertisers, losing him billions, in order to earn less than 50 mil/year in subscription fees? That's the "success" you want me to count? Thanks for the laugh. With great successes like that, X Corp. will be bankrupt before year's end.
